Extraordinary Scene In a Brooklyn Po n lice Court. Yesterday, at 11 o'clock, Mrs.E.A. Pollard, the wife of E. A. Pollard, author of "Th Lost Cause," appeared before Justice Corn-' well, at Oltymil Police Court. Brooklvn. against Mrs. Crotty and Miss Crotty, whose arrest for an alleged assault she had caused the previous day. Mr. Pollard was .also present, and the defendants appealed bv counsel. A confused and painful scene took place between Mr. and Mrs. Pollard. The former, a rather large framed though not tall man, was very pale, and seemed to suffer very keenly. The latter is a young woman elegantly attired. She spoke excitedly, and occasionally v?ept in a semi-hysterical manner.Mr. Pollard said in substance that he was far from wishing to expos or persecute or injure his wife in any way, but her conduct had become intolerable, loaded pistols were brandished, and he was obliged to take some steps in self-defense. Since the affairs of him-sell and his wife had come before the public, he wanted to have them investigated, in justice to himself. Ue wanted to exculpate, himself from the charge of abandonment and cruelty made against him by his wife. He wanted to show that he had made the most ample provision for her support, and that she had spent $15,000 of his property. He had not abandoned his wile nor ill-trented her, but was pursued by her with a maniacal jealousy that had made life intolerable, and separation from her had become the least of two evils. One of the last things he had clone was to make over to her the last vestige of his property In another city. He had no other means ; she had broken up his business, but was amply provided for herself. Mr. Pollard also said that he wished to make application for a peace warrant against his wife, in order that he might be rid of the annoyance he bad been suffering from, and also to get an opportunity to exculpate himself from the charges made against him. Justice Cornwell advised him to consult a good lawyer in regard to his course. The only matter the Court was inquiring Into was the charge of assault against Mrs. and Miss Crotty. During the above statements and conversation the defendant, through counsel, made application for postponement of the case till to-day for the production of Important witnesses, and this the Justice granted. Still the discussion pro and con. continued for some time, the indulgent Justice endeavoring to accommodate the aggrieved husband and wife, who made much more ado about each other than about the Crotty family. uuring Mr. I'ollard s remarks be exhibited a letter recently written to him by his wife, in which she tells him to seek her no more, and that If he did so she would shoot him. It was upon this and other threats that he wished to found a claim for a peace warrant against ner. Airs, roiiard made a vehement reply to her Husband's remarks, protesting by the Al mighty and the spirit of her father, that every word he said was false, and that she- loved with all her soul and "more than ever woman loved." Three weeks ago he had at tempted her life, and she had a warrant acainst him for assault with Intent to kill. Yesterday she sought him at his office and entreated him to tell her where he lived. He said it was not a proper plaee for her, that It was a place or low repute and kept by low Irish people, that the owner lived then with a woman, who he said was his wife, but that he (I'oliard) did not believe It, as be could be "intimate with her or any other woman there. She answered that if it was a proper place for him it was for her, and Insisted up on going nome witn him. Arrived there, she found him professing to occupy a little filthy hall bedroom, which no decent person would live In. She asked for the keeper of the house, and a woman came, when she asked how long her husband bad been stopping there. The woman said; "Ask me in a proper manner, you d b , and l will answer you." The woman kicked her. beat her, tore her ear-rings off, etc., etc., while uer nusband stood by and made no attempt to interfere. I his and much more Mrs. Pol lard would have repeated and dilated upon. but the Indulgent Justice at length got the parties to drop lurtner discussion were, showing them that he had not a general com mission to hear them abuse each other, bat was only Interested In settling the charge of assault against tne Lrottys. uerore tney retired from the Court, how e?cr. M9- I .olll frun8 a llttl? wl?lcf "y "--"J u.. some time ago procured a warrant from the Jencrson Market Police Magistrate for her husband s arrest, and she had brought an officer with her to the City Hall, Brooklyn. To this olllccr she "tipped the wink," and iit. roiiard was taken In custody. The charge preferred against blm Is that about three weeks ago he assaulted his wife with Intent to kill. Mr. Pollard was taken before the Jefferson Market Magistrate, and Mrs. I'oliard also made bcr way there. After waiting somo time for the Magistrate, the parties appeared before hlra, but nothing was done further than to postpone the hearing t lue case tin a o clock to-day, at the request of the defendant. Invalid Pensions. The absence of proof of the death of a sol dier hits hitherto been the great obstacle In the way of the widow's receiving her pension papers. Many soldiers have been last heard from in rebel prisons, on the battle-Hold or In hospitals. In these cases It has bceu customary to petition Congress for relief, but now such a course Is unnecessary. Mr. Pen-hnmJChalrman ofthe Committee on Invalid Pensions, stated on Saturday last, In the House of Representatives, that the Pension Department had recently established a rule that It shall lie held sufficient If proof can be made that the soldier disappeared under circumstances which would lead to the presumption of his death, and that he had not been heard of for two years. In reply to questions on the subject from other mem-Imts, Mr. Peiiham staled that the decision of the Pension Department was a final, not a temporary oue, and that the Committee on Pensions would not report a general bill to obviate the necessity of positive proof of the death of a soldier, as the new rule of the Department covered every meritorious case,

Extraordinary Scene In a Brooklyn Po n lice Court. Yesterday, at 11 o'clock, Mrs.E.A. Pollard, the wife of E. A. Pollard, author of "Th Lost Cause," appeared before Justice Corn-' well, at Oltymil Police Court. Brooklvn. against Mrs. Crotty and Miss Crotty, whose arrest for an alleged assault she had caused the previous day. Mr. Pollard was .also present, and the defendants appealed bv counsel. A confused and painful scene took place between Mr. and Mrs. Pollard. The former, a rather large framed though not tall man, was very pale, and seemed to suffer very keenly. The latter is a young woman elegantly attired. She spoke excitedly, and occasionally v?ept in a semi-hysterical manner.Mr. Pollard said in substance that he was far from wishing to expos or persecute or injure his wife in any way, but her conduct had become intolerable, loaded pistols were brandished, and he was obliged to take some steps in self-defense. Since the affairs of him-sell and his wife had come before the public, he wanted to have them investigated, in justice to himself. Ue wanted to exculpate, himself from the charge of abandonment and cruelty made against him by his wife. He wanted to show that he had made the most ample provision for her support, and that she had spent $15,000 of his property. He had not abandoned his wile nor ill-trented her, but was pursued by her with a maniacal jealousy that had made life intolerable, and separation from her had become the least of two evils. One of the last things he had clone was to make over to her the last vestige of his property In another city. He had no other means ; she had broken up his business, but was amply provided for herself. Mr. Pollard also said that he wished to make application for a peace warrant against his wife, in order that he might be rid of the annoyance he bad been suffering from, and also to get an opportunity to exculpate himself from the charges made against him. Justice Cornwell advised him to consult a good lawyer in regard to his course. The only matter the Court was inquiring Into was the charge of assault against Mrs. and Miss Crotty. During the above statements and conversation the defendant, through counsel, made application for postponement of the case till to-day for the production of Important witnesses, and this the Justice granted. Still the discussion pro and con. continued for some time, the indulgent Justice endeavoring to accommodate the aggrieved husband and wife, who made much more ado about each other than about the Crotty family. uuring Mr. I'ollard s remarks be exhibited a letter recently written to him by his wife, in which she tells him to seek her no more, and that If he did so she would shoot him. It was upon this and other threats that he wished to found a claim for a peace warrant against ner. Airs, roiiard made a vehement reply to her Husband's remarks, protesting by the Al mighty and the spirit of her father, that every word he said was false, and that she- loved with all her soul and "more than ever woman loved." Three weeks ago he had at tempted her life, and she had a warrant acainst him for assault with Intent to kill. Yesterday she sought him at his office and entreated him to tell her where he lived. He said it was not a proper plaee for her, that It was a place or low repute and kept by low Irish people, that the owner lived then with a woman, who he said was his wife, but that he (I'oliard) did not believe It, as be could be "intimate with her or any other woman there. She answered that if it was a proper place for him it was for her, and Insisted up on going nome witn him. Arrived there, she found him professing to occupy a little filthy hall bedroom, which no decent person would live In. She asked for the keeper of the house, and a woman came, when she asked how long her husband bad been stopping there. The woman said; "Ask me in a proper manner, you d b , and l will answer you." The woman kicked her. beat her, tore her ear-rings off, etc., etc., while uer nusband stood by and made no attempt to interfere. I his and much more Mrs. Pol lard would have repeated and dilated upon. but the Indulgent Justice at length got the parties to drop lurtner discussion were, showing them that he had not a general com mission to hear them abuse each other, bat was only Interested In settling the charge of assault against tne Lrottys. uerore tney retired from the Court, how e?cr. M9- I .olll frun8 a llttl? wl?lcf "y "--"J u.. some time ago procured a warrant from the Jencrson Market Police Magistrate for her husband s arrest, and she had brought an officer with her to the City Hall, Brooklyn. To this olllccr she "tipped the wink," and iit. roiiard was taken In custody. The charge preferred against blm Is that about three weeks ago he assaulted his wife with Intent to kill. Mr. Pollard was taken before the Jefferson Market Magistrate, and Mrs. I'oliard also made bcr way there. After waiting somo time for the Magistrate, the parties appeared before hlra, but nothing was done further than to postpone the hearing t lue case tin a o clock to-day, at the request of the defendant. Invalid Pensions. The absence of proof of the death of a sol dier hits hitherto been the great obstacle In the way of the widow's receiving her pension papers. Many soldiers have been last heard from in rebel prisons, on the battle-Hold or In hospitals. In these cases It has bceu customary to petition Congress for relief, but now such a course Is unnecessary. Mr. Pen-hnmJChalrman ofthe Committee on Invalid Pensions, stated on Saturday last, In the House of Representatives, that the Pension Department had recently established a rule that It shall lie held sufficient If proof can be made that the soldier disappeared under circumstances which would lead to the presumption of his death, and that he had not been heard of for two years. In reply to questions on the subject from other mem-Imts, Mr. Peiiham staled that the decision of the Pension Department was a final, not a temporary oue, and that the Committee on Pensions would not report a general bill to obviate the necessity of positive proof of the death of a soldier, as the new rule of the Department covered every meritorious case,
